A Few days had passed since Blaine had attended his last counseling session where he had finally come to terms with the fact that it wasn't anybody's fault for what happened, except Sebastian. Sam and Blaine had been inseparable the day the after then. Both of them would either be holding each other's hand or would share just a little kiss to assure the other that they would be there for them no matter what. However Sam and Blaine weren't the only couple who were acting like they were holding onto each other for dear life.

Santana and Brittany were also seen together and the one thing that everybody at the school had noticed; was that Brittany had begun to act more protective of Santana. But just a little, Britt wouldn't ever stop acting or being the little girl who still believed in unicorns and Santa. But the moment somebody would even attempt to try making a move to hurt Santana in any way, Brittany would instantly become this much more protective girl, who wouldn't hesitate to give somebody a black eye for even giving Santana a bruise or even hurting Santana's feelings.

"Britt, you do know I love you." Santana would say with a smile at how her Britt had become such a caring girl, and wouldn't stand for anyone to hurt Santana. Brittany would simply answer with; "I know, and we will never stop being amazing dolphins. Because dolphins are gay sharks, and both you and I are the best girl dolphins. But Blam is the guy version of us, and they are just like us; they went through heartache and sorrow, but they never lost each other. Just like us."

Santana had actually wanted to talk with Trouty and his little Gay Teen Bowtie. And see if she and Britt could talk with them. "Hey Britt, what do you think about goin' over to the Lima Bean with Sammy and Blainey?" Santana asked her girlfriend. Britt's eyes instantly lit up with excitement for being able to talk to the pair of boys. Britt had also wanted to know how Blaine was feeling after not talking to anybody for a while. "Yay! I was hoping we could do that. Thanks for knowing what I wanted Santana." Britt said with a smile. Santana had known that Britt had wanted to talk to Blaine and Sam, so she decided to "kill two birds with one stone"; Santana and Britt could both get to talk to Blaine about how he was doing, and Santana could find out what it is that Britt did to Sebastian while she was still in her coma, because Santana was never told what Britt did; and she was very curious to learn what her Britt did to protect her from the little Meerkat-Face*.

Switching over to Sam and Blaine now…

XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX

Sam had just finished his last class before heading over to Glee Club when he was pulled into the janitor's closet by a pair of hands, and then saw the janitor's closet door get closed. "Hey! What the hell do you-" was as far as Sam got before his mouth was covered by a familiar soft pair of lips that were needy for a familiar touch. Blaine had gone so long without a make-out session with Sam that he just had to get Sam whenever he could. Sam was instantly getting hard from Blaine's little noises that he made from the touching and sensual acts that Sam was doing to him. "Sam…I…need you so…much right now." Was all Blaine could get out of his mouth while switching between kissing Sam's trouty mouth and grinding against Sam's hard crotch which was at the moment was extremely painful for Sam because it was straining against his pants. "Blaine…please…stop grinding unless you-Ah!...plan to let me come." Sam said to Blaine with such want that Blaine felt himself get extremely hard at the tone that Sam used. Blaine was about to go down to Sam's clothed bulge and let Sam release when the door to the janitor's closet was opened.

"Hey Trouty, not that I'm complaining about you and Bowtie here gettin' it on. But…You do realize that we have Glee in about oh… five minutes, and you don't want Mr. Schue to come looking for you two and then find Bowtie moaning like a bitch in heat and Trouty using those froggy lips of his to work wonders on Bowtie do ya?" Santana stated to the two boys with a smirk on her face as she was very satisfied with seeing that both Sam and Blaine were able to touch each other without thinking of Sebastian raping Blaine. "Y-yeah, I suppose your right Santana." Sam panted before planting a rather large hickey on Blaine so that everybody would know that Blaine was his and ONLY his. Blaine was having trouble standing because of what Sam just did to him and from the make-out session he and his boyfriend just had. "W-w-we'll be r-right there." Blaine said, stuttering a little from out of breath.

Several minutes later; Blaine, Sam, Brittany, and Santana had entered the choir room and several pairs of eyes instantly traveled to the hickey on Blaine's neck. "Hey Blaine, what happened there? Did Sam take control with you?" Jake asked as he guessed as to what had happened with a smile on his face as he saw the love between the two boys and how Blaine attempted to hide his face in Sam's chest. "Jake! Stop it, I don't think Blaine appreciates the attention he's getting from everyone in here." Marley told her boyfriend with a slight smile as she remembered how it felt to fall in love with someone, and how it still feels as she looked at Jake. "Okay, okay, sure thing Marley." Jake answered with a smile and gave Marley a kiss on her cheek. Tina had just smiled to herself as she was very happy for the both of them at having found each other, and Blaine was recovering very well from Sebastian's assault on Blaine. Ryder had smiled as well, though he was having his own dilemma himself, and planned to ask Sam about how to deal with because he and Sam were friends. Other members were happy for how Sam and Blaine were getting through everything that the two of them had been through so far.

"Okay guys, I want to welcome back Blaine into the group. Blaine; I hope you are feeling better and if you need to take some more time to recover from what happened, you just need to ask me." Mr. Schuester said to everyone and then directed the last part to Blaine. "So guys, I have an announcement; The New Directions have been invited to do a showcase in New York! And… we have some old members coming with us; Santana Lopez, Mercedes Jones, Quinn Fabray, Finn Hudson, Rachel Berry, Noah Puckerman, and Mike Chang! All of them have been invited!" Mr. Schuester announced to the entire class. There was cheering and whooping all around the classroom from everyone. Blaine and Sam were smiling at the prospect at being able to talk with some of the old members and catch up with what they had been doing. Ryder had raised his hand at that moment, "Yes Ryder?" Mr. Schuester asked him. "Mr. Schuster, I was hoping I could sing a song for considering for the showcase." He said. "Sure thing Ryder, come on up here and show us what you got." Mr. Schuester answered. Ryder got up out of his seat and walked up to the front of the classroom and started to sing his song.

(Mama's Broken Heart by Miranda Lambert)

(Performed by Ryder Lynn)

I cut my bangs with some rusty kitchen scissors
I screamed his name 'til the neighbors called the cops
I numbed the pain at the expense of my liver
Don't know what I did next all I know, I couldn't stop

Word got around to the barflies and the baptists
My mama's phone started ringin' off the hook
I can hear her now sayin' she ain't gonna have it
Don't matter how you feel, it only matters how you look

Go and fix your make up, girl, it's just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart

I wish I could be just a little less dramatic
Like a Kennedy when Camelot went down in flames
Leave it to me to be holdin' the matches
When the fire trucks show up and there's nobody else to blame

Can't get revenge and keep a spotless reputation
Sometimes revenge is a choice you gotta make
My mama came from a softer generation
Where you get a grip and bite your lip just to save a little face

Go and fix your make up, girl, it's just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart

Powder your nose, paint your toes
Line your lips and keep 'em closed
Cross your legs, dot your I's
And never let 'em see you cry

Go and fix your make up, well it's just a break up
Run and hide your crazy and start actin' like a lady
'Cause I raised you better, gotta keep it together
Even when you fall apart
But this ain't my mama's broken heart

Sam had noticed that Ryder was really into the song and was definitely singing it to someone in particular. Sam wanted to find out who it was, but it wasn't his business, if Ryder wanted to tell anyone, then he would tell them. Little did he know, Sam was going to be asked to help Ryder with a problem soon, and Sam would be able to help Ryder. But for now everyone was very pleased with how Ryder had sung his song choice. Ryder smiled to himself and went back to his seat with a slight blush on his cheeks because he sang a song originally done by a woman, but hey; at least it conveyed what he was feeling at the moment in time, and it still does convey his feelings. "Very nicely performed Ryder, we'll consider it." Mr. Schuster said with a smile at how well Ryder had performed. Mr. Schuster got up and went to address the class with their homework for the week. "Okay then, so your homework for the week guys; is for each person to find at least two or three songs that you would like to suggest we do for the showcase. And you guys are going to tell me what they are, or you can perform them for the class or me, then we will decide what order we'll do them and which ones we won't do." He told the class. And with that, the bell rang signaling the end of the school day.

Santana and Brittany both caught Blaine and Sam before the two boys left the school. "Hey Sam, Blaine. Me and Britt were wondering if you guys would like to go with us to the Lima Bean today?" Santana asked the two of them. "Sure why not." Sam answered with a smile at being able to hang out with Britt and Santana. The four of them agreed to go to the Lima Bean and hang out. "Hey Sam, can I talk to you for a minute?" Ryder asked from behind Sam. "Oh hey man! Sure you can ask me anything." Sam answered Ryder with a smile at being able to chat with Ryder. "In private, please?" Ryder added. "Hey Trouty! Me and Britt are ready to go. How about you and Blaine? You guys ready to go?" Santana asked Sam. "Yeah, give me a minute Santana." Sam replied. "Listen Ryder, why don't you come with me and Blaine and Britt and Santana to the Lima Bean? We were going to just chat there. So let's talk there kay'?" Sam suggested to Ryder. "Okay, I guess so…" Ryder said with a nervousness in his voice. "Awesome. C'mon, let's go." And then they left the school and were on there way to the Lima Bean.
